We are proud to announce that we have upgraded the software that powers liveoak441.com and have moved the site to a larger, more powerful server. There are probably going to be a couple of usability issues that spring up; if you notice any, please contact me at cmerlo441 @ gmail.com. Thanks for your patience! Hopefully, you will notice improvements right away.

Chris Merlo — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:38:53 +0000

Any story that combines inter-agency cooperation and Google is bound to catch my interest. This story even comes with a happy ending. A police officer uses all the tools at his disposal — a cell phone company, and a deputy fire chief who knows how to use Google Maps — to find two kidnapped people, and return them safely home.

Celebrate Thanksgiving at 103!

Chris Merlo — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 05:20:19 +0000

We officers decided it’s high time to reinstate an old tradition this year — Bloody Marys for the Boys on Thanksgiving Morning! I won’t be there myself (going upstate with the wife), but Ron will, and I hear he might even be behind the bar. (Of course, he might not.) Come find out, and celebrate the holiday with your brothers this Thursday morning, starting around 9:30.
